History
Sally Corporation was founded in 1977 by John Wood, John Fox and John Rob Holland.[3] The company began by manufacturing animatronics,[3] including an animated figure of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, which was created for Neiman Marcus and later donated to the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas.[4] John Fox left the company in 1983.[3] Holland stayed with the company until 1988.[3] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Sally Corporation went on to develop interactive dark rides. John Wood remains in the company to this day as the Chairman and CEO.[1]
